Hi y'all, Do we use levels for any of these error log outputs? That is, are they classified on output as High, Medium, Low, Info, or something like that?
Or do we have to triage each of them as we examine them?
I was just thinking if they were somehow leveled, we could use measurements of the number of each type and set targets for lowering the number of those kinds of logs. That would potentially help visualize and prioritize the work. It might be easier to say something like that, "Let's have a goal to produce 10% less High errors in the next two months," than to have a more nebulous approach that seems to require Tyler or someone from his team to highlight tasks that are especially impactful.
I'm mostly ignorant of exactly how these processes work now so if I'm telling y'all something you already know, forgive me. I was mostly thinking out loud about how we could start to approach the work more systematically.

In particular I count 13 frontend problems with the old TMH kaltura

There is clearly no intent to fix those (volunteer or employee), as the Kaltura player has been unmaintained for 8 years. The choices as far as I can tell are to ignore them, undeploy a/v
playback
or to direct C-level management to get the audio and video stuff
together.
The tasks that I mentioned in my original message are, likewise, tasks that I'm not sure belong to any team or any particular person.
I have been using the phab tag/milestone "Release Engineering (Logspam)" to ensure that we don't lose track of tasks that are:
- problems in production
- tagged in phabricator with a team or component (in contrast to
problems with unknown components/team tags) 3. no longer resourced or maintained in a discernible way
Feel free to apply that tag if those 3 conditions apply to these tasks. Tracking these will make it easier to raise awareness later.
Thanks! -- Tyler
